More on the Whine House

Last night on MSNBC a former national security council member from the early days of the Bush Whine House said, in essence, that the complaining about the NY Times report of financial data tracking is much ado about nothing.

He said the program was not classified. Further, he doubted whether the report surprised the terrorist groups at all. He indicated that they had already taken their financial movements underground.

Two questions:
1. Why does the Administration attack only the NY Times and not the generally conservative Wall Street Journal, even though the WSJ ran the story on front page as well?
2. Why does the Administration attack the media who print the leak and not focus like a laser on the leaker of the information? Perhaps such a focus would be a little too close to home??
